Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Concept

In history-of-technology questions, association with an invention usually identifies a contributor whose device made that technology practical.

It does not necessarily mean that one person alone created the entire system.

Application

Vladimir Zworykin was a Russian-American electronics engineer. His iconoscope served as an electronic camera tube, while his kinescope served as a television picture tube. These devices were central to all-electronic television.

Contrast

  • Colour printing developed through processes such as chromolithography, colour separation, and halftone printing.

  • Radio developed from electromagnetic-wave experiments and wireless telegraphy, with figures such as Hertz and Marconi commonly associated with it.

  • The Internet developed from packet-switching research and the TCP/IP networking architecture.

Cross-check

The iconoscope captures an image electronically and the kinescope displays an image; together they align directly with the capture-and-display chain of television.

Result

Therefore, the invention associated with Vladimir Zworykin is television.
